DO NOT base your opinions off of ranking or comments you see on this site. There is A LOT of self ranking done by ALL of the houses on here.
Go through Panhellenic preview and sure, form some opinions. Go to all sorority individual sorority events intended for pnms to meet actives like the Greek picnic.
Don't act as though you're too good for ANY house and don't think you're too good.
Don't get your hopes up just because you're being rushed now. Most houses have rushing to some extent and then they drop girls during recruitment. It's nothing personal, don't take it that way. They're just selling their houses to pnms.
Yes, GPA matters. Keep your grades up.
Look at all the sororities with an open mind, and see which ones most share your values, and which ones most feel like home.
Be nice to ALL sorority women because despite the vibe you may get from this website, the Greek system is fairly close.
And don't think that because you're a legacy you're automatically in. That's not how it works.

Another thing, EVERY house has party girls, book worms, less attractive, outgoing, quiet, shy, beautiful, wild, reserved, smart, ditsy girls.
None of these adjectives are exclusive to any one house.
And keep an open mind. If you keep an open mind and try to connect with sorority girls on a friendship level you're more likely to receive a bid during recruitment. Don't just try to meet girls from one house because you feel like you belong.
It is to your advantage to befriend women from all houses. Plus, what's wrong with having more friends? Especially upperclassmen who can help you throughout the semester

One thing I would add is that on here you see some houses that are considered bottom tier. Some girls who otherwise love the girls in those houses decide not to pledge because no one wants to be in a bottom tier house. Our greek system would be so much stronger if we could get over this middle school idea of popularity and recognize that the houses really just offer different options. Some houses have a stong HP presence. Others have more oos girls. Some recruit heavily for grades, others for other things. If we would just realize that all the lists that rank houses are biased by what the ranker thinks is the most important, we could agree that houses can't really be ranked in any meaningful ways.
